Thanks Olli and all that replied. Makes for an easy decision!

The only drawback is you have to switch on the KPA500 using the KPA Utility software as there is no switching signal as the K3 can provide using a special macro.

[Elecraft] KPA500 with Icom 7100
Hi Group, Has anyone successfully used the KPA500 with the Icom 7100? I use the Icom 7100 remotely and would like to throw some power behind it. With the KPA500's remote management software and capabilities, it is obviously first on my list. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or comments to the configuration. Specifically from a remote shack perspective.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 with Icom 7100
Hi Chad. I ran my KPA500/KAT500 pair with my 7100 for awhile without any problems. I was using system local, not remotely. I was in the middle of a move and after a month or so I moved my K3 in to position and hooked it up with the KPA/KAT. I built a cable for the purpose, that is defined in the elecraft manual. I'm at work now, but can research this some more when I get home if it will help. Let me know... 73 Jeff KB2M - Original Message -From: Chad Wasinger chadwasin...@outlook.comTo: elecr...@mailman.qth.netSent: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 14:38:04 - (UTC)Subject: [Elecraft] KPA500 with Icom 7100 Hi Group, Has anyone successfully used the KPA500 with the Icom 7100?

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 with Icom 7100
Hi Jeff - I'd appreciate any advice, especially on the cabling. This amp has always looked like the obviously choice when it comes to a remote station. Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 with Icom 7100
I use my kpa500 remotely with my ts480 with only a ptt lead and no issues. You won't have an issue with your 7100.
